John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Comments
  • John appears to be in slightly speeded-up mode tonight.
  • He refers to his practice of asking session artists on his BBC show to include a cover of a Shadows track, which never worked. Although not made explicit, it is notable that the show ends with a cover of one the Shadows most famous own covers.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'In last week's programme, I played you a track from Foyer Des Arts from Berlin. For those of you who have confusion with my French accent, that's "Foyer" as in cinema, "Des" as in Des O'Connor, "Arts" as in A-R-T-S.')
(JP: 'Too much of it about if you ask me: people talking in the streets, combing their hair. I'd put an end to it if I was you.')
